The Wilmington/Leland area has not seen an open house drawing extravaganza like this. Every weekend day in June two great existing homes in the Jefferson Landing neighborhood of Brunswick Forest in Leland, North Carolina will both be open from 1-4PM. We'd love to have as many people as possible see these two awesome properties. In order to add a little incentive we'll be having two drawings each weekend day through June, one for each house Saturday and Sunday. In order to enter the drawing you have to tour them both and then fill out comment sheets about both of them. At the end of the day we'll match up the comment sheets from each house, draw two winners (using a random number generator) and then call the winners to find out which one of the following four great prizes they want: 1. a round of golf at Magnolia Greens Golf Plantation (including cart) 2. a $35 gift certificate to Front Street Brewery in Downtown Wilmington 3. a $35 gift certificate to Antonios Pizza and Pasta Restaurant (three locations: 1 in Leland and 2 in Wilmington) 4. (for the first two weekends) Either 1 VIP ticket or 2 general admission tickets to The Buckinghams concert on June 20th). Buyers, friends, REALTORS, anyone over the age of 18 is invited to participate in this drawing. Mostly we want you to see the houses, but we'd also like to meet you to give you a chance in the drawings, so come on out!

OK agents, here's such a great opportunity for you and your buyers it may be unprecedented, at least on THIS planet! My sellers have two (2) new homes in Leland that they are Ready to Sell! Each home is a bit more than 2,000 square feet located on approximately 1/2 acre lots, both conveniently located on Lyn Marie Drive (around the corner from the Post Office on Village Road). This is a well kept, no-HOA neighborhood. You and your buyers just gotta see it.

The first house is at 9334 Lyn Marie Drive. This house has three bedrooms and two full baths on the first floor, living room, dining room, large kitchen with breakfast area, and a frog with a third full bath. The back yard is simply immense with lots of room for toys, kids, dogs, gardens, or running around room. The asking price is $239,500. MLS# 417045 www.9334lynmariedrive.blogspot.com

The second house at 9372 Lyn Marie Drive. This house has a front to back open kitchen, dining room, and great room with fireplace plus a master suite, laundry and one and a half baths on the first floor, two more bedrooms, a playroom, and full bath on the second floor. The deep back yard is half open and half wooded. MLS# 426994 www.9372lynmariedrive.blogspot.com So here's the deal. The title of this post isn't a typo. The buyer agent commission is 6% PLUS buyers get to choose between $5,000 in closing costs or upgrades (or whatever combination works best for them). Because both of these fine homes are in Leland, that means they're 100% USDA-loan eligible. Put that together with the $8,000 Federal First Time Home Buyer tax credit and this adds up to a great deal for your buyers. Plus you make out pretty well, too, with 6% commission.

Come see this great home in the Jefferson Landing section of Brunswick Forest. This lakefront home has many super spaces for living, entertaining, and even working in your home if you wish, but probably the best part is it fronts right on a large lake that's super for kayaking and canoeing.

Come see this great home in the Jefferson Landing section of Brunswick Forest. Lot and lots of super features. One of my favorites is the caged lanai that combines privacy and outdoor relaxation and entertainment. This three bedroom home has two and a half baths, brick privacy walls on each side of the home, a fenced in back yard, and many upgrades. The open floor plan easily lends itself to parties large and small.
